Heavy Gear – This should sit as close to your lower back – your centre of gravity – as possible. This is known as the ‘loadstable’area. But remember if it’s raining when you arrive at your campsite it’ll be a pain fishing through your dry gear to get to your tent, so if your rucksack has a bottom zip opening, pack your tent behind it.
Light Gear – Place towards the outer walls of your rucksack, furthest from your body. This is the ‘load-unstable’ area and kit here is least likely to have an effect on your centre of gravity.
In-between Gear – Spread everything else evenly between the top and bottom and across the full width of your pack to help your balance.
